Currently on GFY, we allow the community to decide the relevance of announcements. If an announcement has value to the community, it WILL be bumped. If the message is bullshit, the thread will drop.
WRONG! I can post a totally spammy thread that noone finds "relevant" but hit up my entire ICQ list to bump it for me. Everyone does this. Advertisers as well as non-advertisers do. Advertisers have the benefit of a sticky thread, but the value of that sticky thread diminishes when one could have their friends bump the thread to the top of the forum for days on end.
